Aaron, Lisa

The instant the Death God Avatar died, Camilla had fallen completely!

Linley's series of killings had happened far too quickly. From the outbreak of the battle until now, not even a few seconds had passed!

This was also the norm in Hell!

Once one side completely overwhelmed the other in strength, battles between god-level powerhouses were actually extremely fast-paced!

"Sir, spare our lives!"

Claude and Joseph were still trapped inside the Electromagnetic Space. Their bodies were riddled with wounds, and no matter how they dodged left and right, it was useless. If this continued, their deaths were only a matter of time.

They were horrified. How could a Mid-level God be so powerful? They even suspected that their opponent was a High-level God who had concealed his soul aura! Otherwise, how could his divine power be so terrifying?

Linley's eyes were cold and emotionless as he said calmly, "You brought this upon yourselves. You can't blame me."

As he spoke, he raised his long saber and swung it. The Electromagnetic Space suddenly compressed, and the countless bolts of wandering lightning transformed into searing energy spheres. In the blink of an eye, they engulfed the two men. After the dazzling radiance faded, only three godheads and two Space Rings remained.

Claude's earth-element High-level Godhead and wind-element Mid-level Godhead, and Joseph's death-element High-level Godhead.

With his hands free, Linley turned and slashed to death the Blood Soul Snake, which was barely clinging to life and covered in deep pits and wounds. He casually seized the Life High-level Godhead, inwardly marveling at the powerful constitution of a Divine Beast. It had actually survived the electromagnetic explosion instead of dying on the spot.

"Linley, you..."

Thomas and Corey hurried over from a little farther away. Seeing Linley unharmed, they were somewhat stunned, opening their mouths without knowing what to say.

They had witnessed the scene of this slaughter, but their minds were still in a daze and had yet to process what had happened.

A Mid-level God who had fused three Mysteries should theoretically have a basic strength comparable to that of a Four-star Demon. Even if Linley's attacks were powerful enough to reach the level of a Five-star Demon, that would already be astonishing. But the strength of a Six-star Demon was simply too outrageous.

Linley shook his head. "You forced me to act."

He had been the one to send a voice transmission telling Thomas and Corey to keep their distance earlier. After all, amid the slaughter carried out by the Four-star and Five-star Demons, Mid-level Gods of their strength were merely high-grade cannon fodder. There was no need for them to die for nothing, and staying nearby would only get in the way.

Linley picked up the Space Rings and recognized them one by one by dripping his blood onto them.

Claude's and Camilla's were successfully recognized.

Joseph's failed.

As for the slain Kaus, his Space Ring could not be recognized either. This proved that they all had other Divine Avatars or Sanctuary True Bodies still alive.

Linley was not very satisfied with this result.

Kaus was fine. He had not witnessed Linley erupt with extraordinary strength, so the fact that he could not refine the Space Ring left behind by Kaus's Destruction God Avatar was not important.

Joseph, however, was a hidden danger.

Forget it. The problem shouldn't be too serious, Linley thought.

From Joseph and Kaus's conversation, it was obvious that Joseph had a deep grudge against Camilla. If his other Divine Avatar was strong enough, there was no reason for him not to bring it along on this mission.

Linley estimated that it had, at most, the strength of a Four-star Demon. It might even only be a Mid-level God. In Hell, beings who could cultivate two innate talents independently to the High-level God realm were exceedingly rare.

"Let's go take a look at Bloodthirsty Castle."

Linley had discovered a large quantity of resources inside Camilla's Space Ring, such as piles of Ink Stone, Azure Stone, Blood Crystal, and other items stacked as high as a small mountain. But he had not searched it carefully. Now was not a suitable time, and he would have plenty of time later.

Who knew whether Bloodthirsty Castle contained any hidden treasures? Besides, there were still several people he needed to deal with along the way.

The three of them flew over.

By coincidence, they encountered Claude's wife and children emerging from the castle entrance. The two sides looked at one another, their expressions varying.

Mariana furrowed her brows and asked in surprise, "Huh? Where are Claude and the others?"

Lisa's expression was strange. She sent a voice transmission to her mother and brother, explaining what had happened earlier. She had not expected this Mid-level God to remain unharmed.

"What..."

Mariana and Aaron were both shocked and flustered. They realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"My father..."

Voice transmissions through Spiritual Sense were extremely efficient. Less than a second had passed in reality, and the black-haired youth Aaron was just about to ask the three Mid-level God examinees where his father Claude was.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck him from above. Aaron had no power to resist and was blasted into ash on the spot!

"Aaron!"

"Brother!"

Mariana and Lisa screamed. Their beautiful faces turned deathly pale.

Linley gave them a warning look, immediately frightening them into silence.

Linley picked up Aaron's Space Ring and tried to recognize it with his blood, but he failed. He could not help frowning as he turned to Mariana and demanded, "How many Divine Avatars does he have left? What strength do they possess, and where are they? Tell me everything about yourselves."

Mariana's heart raced, but she forced herself to answer, "Our Sanctuary True Bodies are all in Red Stone City."

Linley nodded. "Keeping you alive would be too troublesome."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and sent two bolts of lightning at them, killing the mother and daughter without the slightest hesitation!

Thomas said with an expression of regret, "What a waste to kill them just like that. Don't you like them?"

Linley was rendered speechless, then laughed. "I do find them appealing, but there's no need. They aren't worth wasting my time subduing."

He picked up the two women's Space Rings and tried recognizing them with his blood. As expected, he failed. It seemed Mariana had not lied, which matched what he had sensed through the Magnetic Field Power.

As for the Sanctuary True Bodies of Mariana, Aaron, and Lisa, Linley did not care much. In the future, they could only hide in the city and struggle to survive.

Even if they cultivated laws of other elements and eventually grew strong enough to seek revenge, by then Linley had no idea how powerful he would have become. They posed no threat whatsoever.

Linley would not keep them alive. Otherwise, their Sanctuary True Bodies in Red Stone City could know his location at any time.

The three of them entered Bloodthirsty Castle and discovered that some blood slaves had regained their freedom following Camilla's death. Linley allowed them to flee, as long as they did not take anything from inside Bloodthirsty Castle.

"Heh heh, why should we listen to you?"

"That slut Camilla deserved to die. The property inside Bloodthirsty Castle belongs to everyone who finds it. None of you can monopolize it!"

Urged on by several greedy blood slaves, the order inside the castle descended into chaos as they began fighting over the wealth, completely disregarding Linley's words.

Linley shook his head and sighed. "Isn't it good to stay alive? I gave you a path to live, yet you don't cherish it."

He took up his long saber and began killing them one after another!

Amid flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, the bodies of countless blood slaves fell throughout the castle—in the hall, the corridors, the secret rooms, and every other area.

After confirming that no outsiders remained, Linley released his Spiritual Sense without restraint and fused it with his own Magnetic Field Power. It easily covered a thousand meters and continued expanding, completely enveloping the entire castle and its surroundings. Only after thoroughly scouring every resource did he leave in satisfaction.

They returned to the Metal Life.

The staff of Demon Castle were counting the survivors. When they saw the three of them return, their faces filled with surprise as they sighed, "You guys are really lucky to have survived this."

Linley observed that fewer than twenty examinees had returned alive, and most of them looked rather grim.
